Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations In your own interests and that of safety, it is the Law that ALL gas appliances have been installed by a competent person in accordance with the current issue of these regulations. Gas Category This boiler is for use only on G20 natural gas but can be converted for use on G31 propane. Electrical Connection The boiler MUST be earthed. The boiler MUST be connected to a permanent 230V ac, 50Hz supply, fused at 3A. Connection of the whole electrical system of the boiler, including any heating controls, to the electrical supply must be through one common isolator. The colours of three core flexible cable are, blue - neutral, brown - live, green and yellow - earth.
Important Information
Testing and Certification This boiler is certificated to the current issue of EN 483 for performance and safety. It is important that no alteration is made to the boiler unless approved, in writing, by Glow-worm. Any alteration not approved by Glow-worm, could invalidate the certification, boiler warranty and may also infringe the current issue of the statutory requirements. CE Mark This boiler meets the requirements of Statutory Instrument, No. 3083 of the Boiler (Efficiency) Regulations, and therefore is deemed to meet the requirements of Directive 92/42/EEC on the efficiency requirements for new hot water boilers fired with liquid or gaseous fuels. Type test for purposes of Regulation 5 certified by: Notified body 0087. Product/production certified by: Notified body 0086. The CE mark on this appliance shows compliance with: 1. Directive 90/396/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to appliances burning gaseous fuels. 2. Directive 73/23/EEC on the harmonisation of the Laws of the Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits. 3. Directive 89/336/EEC on the approximation of the Laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility.

Boiler Design and Clearances
Description These boilers are designed for use as part of a sealed water central heating system with fully pumped circulation. The pump, expansion vessel and associated safety devices are all fitted within the boiler. The intelligent control system is designed for both simple operation and maximum control. Once the controls are set the boiler operates automatically. Pluming from flue terminal Like all condensing boilers it will produce a plume of condensation from the flue terminal in cool weather. This is due to the high efficiency and hence low flue gas temperature of the boiler. It is normal and not a fault indication. Compartment or Cupboard Installations Ventilation is not required for compartment or cupboard installations. Do not use the compartment or cupboard for storage.

Boiler Safety Devices
Boiler Shutdown The boiler software is designed to recognise the potential for an overheat lockout and will shutdown before this happens. To restart the boiler, press the reset button, see diagram 2. If the boiler fails to resume normal operation and all external controls are calling for heat, then call your Installation/Servicing company or Glow-worm service. Frost Protection With the gas and electric supplies ON and irrespective of any room thermostat setting, the integral frost protection device will operate the pump when the temperature of the boiler water falls below 8OC.
The pump will stop after 10 minutes if the temperature is higher than 10OC or has already reached 35OC.
The burner will only activate if the boiler temperature does not reach 10OC after 30 minutes or at any time if the temperature
drops to 5OC.
The burner will switch off when the temperature reaches 35OC.
NOTE: Any other exposed areas of the system should be protected by a separate frost thermostat.
Condensate Drain Blockage As a safety feature the boiler will stop working if the condensate drain becomes blocked. During freezing conditions this may be due to the forming of ice in the condense drain external to the house. Release an ice blockage by the use of warm cloths on the pipe. The boiler should then restart. Contact your Installation/Servicing company or Glow-worm service if the fault persists. Safety Discharge Valve The safety discharge valve and discharge pipe is fitted to the boiler. If there is any discharge from the pipe, switch off the boiler electrical supply, then call your Installation/Servicing company or Glow-worm service.

General Note Servicing/maintenance should be carried out by a competent person in accordance with the rules in force in the countries of destination. If this boiler is installed in a rented property in the UK there is a duty of care imposed on the owner of the property by the current issue of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, Section 35. Servicing To ensure the continued efficient and safe operation of the boiler it is recommended that it is checked and serviced at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing will depend upon the site conditions and usage, but in general, once a year should be enough. To obtain service, please call your installer or Glow-worm’s own service organisation using the telephone number on the inside front cover of this booklet. Cleaning The boiler casing can be cleaned using a mild liquid detergent with a damp cloth, then a dry cloth to polish. Do not use any form of abrasive or solvent cleaner as you may damage the paintwork.
Servicing, Maintenance and Spare Parts
Frost Protection If the mains electricity and gas services are to be turned off for any long periods during severe weather, it is recommended that the whole system, including the boiler, should be drained to avoid the risk of freezing. Sealed Water Systems The draining, refilling and pressurising MUST be carried out by a competent person, contact your Installation/Servicing company or Glow-worm Service. Spare Parts REMEMBER, When replacing a part on this boiler, use only spare parts that you can be assured conform to the safety and performance specification that we require. Do not use reconditioned or copy parts that have not been clearly authorised by Glow-worm. If replacement parts are required contact Glow-worm’s own service organisation using the telephone number on the inside front cover of this booklet. Please quote the name and model of the boiler. The name and model badge is on the front case. If in doubt seek advice from the local gas company or Glow- worm’s own service organisation using the telephone number on the inside front cover of this booklet.
